S'more Maker

I had seen this s'more maker on a blog and pointed it out to my friend at work because I thought it was hilarious. Who would think of such a thing? When you read the product description it is very detailed about how the water (you add water below the white lid in the back) evenly distributes heat in the microwave ensuring a perfectly melted s'more, how the arms provide the exact amount of pressure needed to coagulate the ingredients, etc... We totally cracked up about it. When my birthday rolled around, the s'more maker arrived on my desk. What's even better about it is that Aaron and I don't have a microwave at home. Kind of like the cheeseburger phone I just had to have, but we don't have a land line.

But, when Aaron's family was in town recently we used the microwave in their hotel room to give my s'more maker a trial run.
Before, with Aaron's thumb showing approval.

Fresh out of the microwave. The instructions note the chocolate will not look melted, but it is. Glad they said that or I would have unnecessarily cooked it longer. Check out the beautiful melt below.
Verdict? The s'more maker delivers on it's promises and all ingredients were perfectly melted. Personally, I miss the toasty marshmallow taste and texture that come with fire roasting, but this will do in a snap and is probably perfect for kids. Thanks Jenna!!

Looks kinda cool...does it make the cracker soft or stale like?

No, it doesn't make the cracker soft at all! Still crunchy.

I'm glad you mention s'mores. It was my goal this summer to eat a s'more which I did last week in SG over a gas fire pit. Not quite the campfire I had dreamed of but easy. I noticed I put marshmallows on skewers and then sit back and gab. Several times people (young and old) alerted me my candies were on fire. It is good to learn about oneself. Apparently, I like the end result and don't care how I get there.
